I sent this link to some colleagues and asked, "Tell me what 'Partial Mode'
means." Some are developers, some are DBAs, and some are just starting out.
Those who responded in less than 20 seconds obviously didn't read the
headers; they just deduced it by looking at the table title. And yes, some
said it related to aggregating data on fewer records. So, putting an
explanation in the header probably won't completely solve the problem,
since many people only look at the table, and if they can draw any
conclusions from it, they ignore the rest of the text.
